You ever have one of those days when the Lord wakes you up early and you feel the need to pray? That happened to me today at 5:00. Prayed for a while and went back to sleep. When I woke up at 7:00 am I went about my morning activities, but I felt the Lord whispering to me to stop what I was doing and get down on my knees. So, not sure why I was praying or who I was praying for, but I got down and prayed yet again. I covered a lot of friends and family in those early morning prayers. I may never know the reason for today's prayers. I'm not writing this to brag about how I obey God's voice, because the truth is I'm sure I've missed it more than once. I just hope this encourages you to listen to the gentle voice of the Lord prompting you throughout your day -- whether it's to pray for someone or maybe call someone.
Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. Colossians 4:2

This happens quite often to me, usually when I want to sleep! I finally just start praying! Love the verse!
This happens to me also, Beth. Most of the time a specific person comes to mind. I know it's the Lord and I know I must pray, and I do. It brings such wonderful peace. So happy you are feeling better.
Love the whisper and am always honored when God chooses to use me in this way. I especially love it when I find out that something was happening in someone's life and I was called on to pray.
I love you, dear Sister and pray you are well. I want to talk to you so badly. My day always slows down around 3:00 and by then I think "they're having dinner" or "Steve's just getting home" and on and on and I neglect to call. Will try harder...hopefully Friday.
Love to you and big hugs to my favorite Christopher and your awesome husband!
